Oh, bury me out on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes howl, and the wind blows free
And when I die you can bury me
'Neath the western sky on the lone prarie
I'm a rovin' cowboy far away from home
And the days get weary as I ride along
So when I die you can take me home
To the western sunset and the trails I've roamed
Oh, bury me out on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes howl, and the wind blows free
And when I die (when I die), you can bury me (bury me)
'Neath the western sky (western sky) on the lone prarie
